Cross Platform Lighting

[jbass007]

Hello,

 

I'm about to do a custom water loop and looking at the EKWB new RGB reservoir but all my fans and lights are on Corsair RBG platform and that reservoir is not supported for that. My question is that if I plug the standard 4pin RGB cable into my Commander Pro will it work with Corsair software since its just lights? I cant find an answer online hoping someone here has tried it.

I don't own these products but I do have an RGB synced rig, and here's all you need to know:

If two products aren't officially specified to work with eacother, and you can't get clarification from the manufacturer that they do work together, do not attempt to plug them in. Doing so could fry either one of them, or the ports.

Check you plug things in the right way, there's two ways to plug them in, marked on the cables.

Check voltage rating on both the connector. Most fans/strips are rated at 12v, so make sure it's a 12v supported controller / port.

If all of those three things are a yes, by all means you can try it. If they arne't rated to work together, don't. 

 

I don't think EKWB supports corsair link, but double check this as I've never owned an EK product. If it doesn't support corsair link, do not try to plug them in without contacting corsair AND EK. You'll likely kill the hub and the res, which could take everything plugged in with it.

unless you go completely custom with an ardruino or something similar, the answer is a big fat NO

There is not option plug and go solution for that since the res unit utilizes the common 4 pin RGB control system where Corsair's is proprietary and use a different voltage.
